Procedure or Surgery (Implant chemotherapy port): Going to have the port installed on 9/26/2012 and then Chemo will start in few weeks. Need to recover from the surgery yet. Not really looking forward to having the port, I know it's not a big deal to have it done, just feeling kind of down right now.

Other Care (Oncologest, Dr Zent ): Saw Dr Zenk today, found out what I all ready knew. Stage 3 colon cancer and will have to have a port installed and start chemo when I'm all headed up from the surgery. Dr Zenk is very down to earth and easy to talk with.
